Nottingham’s bid was called Small Steps Big Changes and it was chosen as one of five successful bids across England, sharing £125 million from the Big Lottery Fund.

On Playday thousands of children and their families get out to play at hundreds of community events across the UK. As well as celebrating children’s right to play, Playday also highlights the importance of play in children’s lives.

We’ll let you know more about our plans for Playday nearer the time but in the meantime the organisers of Playday, Play England, are looking for families and individuals who are willing to share their stories and opinions with the media – to help them promote this year’s Playday.

For example, you could talk about your own experiences of play in general, or about a play event you’ve been to recently, or about an event you have planned for Playday in your community.
